Tortilla Baked Eggs
Description
This recipe starts by brushing olive oil on the inside of a round oven-safe dish then pressing a flour tortilla inside so its edges fold up the sides. Chopped fresh spinach is spread on the tortilla base, then four eggs are cracked on top, seasoned lightly with salt and pepper. Halved grape tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese are scattered over the eggs.
The dish bakes at 350ºF for 20-25 minutes until the egg whites are set but yolks remain jammy. The eggs bake inside the tortilla which crisps slightly along the edges, while the spinach cooks gently underneath. The grape tomatoes roast slightly and provide fresh bursts of flavor. The cheddar melts on top, adding richness and complementing the eggs.
This preparation serves four portions and can be sliced like a quiche. It offers a comforting, visually appealing meal suitable for breakfast or brunch. The recipe suggests using an oven vessel slightly smaller than the tortilla for best results and checking doneness by gently shaking to detect if whites are set.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil $0.08
- 1 " flour tortilla $0.14
- 1 cup spinach $0.16, fresh
- 4 large egg $0.92
- 1/8 tsp salt $0.01
- 1/8 tsp black pepper $0.01, freshly cracked
- 1/2 cup grape tomatoes $0.37
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese $0.21, shredded
- 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper $0.01, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Brush the inside of a round, 7-inch diameter oven safe dish* with olive oil. Press the tortilla down into the dish so that the edges of the tortilla are folded up the sides of the dish (see step by step photos below).
- Roughly chop the spinach then add it to the bottom of the tortilla. Crack the four eggs into the tortilla on top of the spinach. Add a pinch of salt and pepper on top of the eggs.
- Slice the grape tomatoes in half, then sprinkle them over the eggs. Finally, top with shredded cheese.
- Bake the egg filled tortilla in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still jammy. You can shake the dish to see if the whites still jiggle or if they are set. Baking time may vary depending on the size of your tortilla and number of eggs used.
- Remove the tortilla baked eggs from the oven and slide them out of the dish. Slice into four pieces, then serve!
Notes
- Use an oven-safe round dish slightly smaller than the tortilla to ensure it fits with folded edges.
- Baking time may vary by dish size and egg quantity; check doneness by a slight shake—whites should be set but yolks still soft.
- The dish slices well into four portions after baking for serving.
